How many hours do you guys read a day?
How many books a week on average?
Because of my busy schedule, i only get to read 2 books in a month…i guess i must be the slowest reader in the group 🙂
Naa.. I’m with you..
I’m retired, lost my husband last year , have health problems, so I read as much as I desire.
sorry for your loss.. and glad u are finding Me time.. this has been horrible year lost dad in March and mom in June.. let’s add my 14 yr old puppy 3 weeks ago.. ready for 2018
Oh so sorry to hear that ??
So sorry, Lola, some years are bad. we were married 58 years so it is a big life change….but as one of my daughter’s said ” my mother can entertain herself”. LOL
you raised great daughters. my parents married 63 yrs. I inherited both of their love and passion for reading need to find that spark
with career job.. family and 2ns job. 2 a month
For me career takes up most of my time
I do try and read on my lunch hour. now when fall/winter come my seasonal job will stop and then I have career job and also do catering all for my plan to be debt free and not work til 90. house will be paid free and clear in under 2 years we will buy our new home free and clear and I plan on having a beautiful reading room. method to my madness
Ooh okay. Keep up the hard work then and all the best
Almost constantly. Joy of being invalid
I don’t have kids and don’t want them so I have lots of free reading time personally. 🙂 And i work in care so 12 hours shifts but 4-5 days off a week.
Depends on how tired I am when I get home from work! But on average, about two books per month depending on the size of the book.
It depends on my health but anywhere between 2-5hours a day and 2-3 books a week depending on the length of the book. I do seem to read a lot of big books
I average a couple hours a day and one or two books a week. I still work full time, have five grandkids and four dogs all wanting some of my time. Perfect balance ?
I read at least an hour a day, being chronically ill, it’s usually a lot more!
Between studying, working and a family l try for at least an hour a day (some days l don’t get to read and l am ok with that)
I always try to read for a while before bed but on weekends I sneak in some hours
About 3 books a week. A preferred 2/3 hours of reading a day
2 books a month maybe 4 if I have time, I read a couple hours before bed or half a day if I’m off which is almost never, I’m a live in care giver and don’t have alot of time but I can’t give up reading because that’s my therapy.
2 to 3 hours a day
1 book a week
Depends on what I have going on. I have two small children so reading is really limited to nap time and bedtime. Also depends on the books. I fly through some. On average, maybe two hours a day. 1-2 books a week.
I’m with you. I don’t have kids but some days are full and so are some weeks. What I have tried to do is set up Reading Friday. That I don’t watch tv or dvd’s all day just read.
It really depends on everything else.
1-2 books a week….i always read before bed ?
Reading has been a struggle I don’t even read a book a month right now. But from tomorrow my youngest children are in school full time. So more reading time
With work and a child….im lucky if I finish 2 a month lol
1 to 2….always have hard copy plus audio in car going.
I really envy those who read 1 or 2 books a week. Oh….how I wish I could. I can only manage 2 a month. With tons of house chores and cooking, its a struggle. I do read before bed but my eyes always betray me by forcing me to go to sleep!!
Goodness, when I read, that’s all I want to do and I can read a book in a couple of days. But other times it takes me weeks to pick up another book after finishing one and then I don’t get much reading done at all, lol.
When I am not writing, I read 5 to 7 books a week… when I’m writing, I try to read at least one ?
That’s a lot in a week! Lol
@Nay I read extremely quick. I wish I didn’t, because I usually want the books to go on forever ?
Do you speed read?
@Dana I don’t skim – but whether or not I’ve acquired techniques over the years unknowingly, I’m not sure. I’ve always read quickly. A book usually only takes me 3-4 hours. Which is an evening of reading for me.
I understand that. I had a book recently that I couldn’t put down and read it way too fast. I was sad when it was over.
I’m so jealous
1 book a week if it’s short books lol and if I’m in the car I could read for hours
1-3 hours a day. I average 2 books a week. I do listen to audiobooks during my commute
I’ve been so off lately but usually 2-3 books a week. Now I’m lucky if I can finish one book within a month 🙁
4 hours a day,,, and I average 11 books a week lol on my Kindle
I wish I could read faster.
@Cassandra I thank my mom and God for my love of reading,, I was ADHD in school but in my day that wasn’t a thing. so I was sent to a great reading teacher that worked with me… and since then my reading skills have been amazing. My daughter also had ADHD in school and I got the proper attention to her learning disability they put her in a wonderful program and now she is also a huge fan of reading. Reading is an enjoyment like no other. I used to carry a book everywhere, now it is my kindle lol
That’s awesome. Reading it more than just the act of reading. It can do so much good for a person.
Right now, I am reading on my Kindle and learning to quilt.. lol so I went to the library and they had free quilting books out for anyone to take so I have quite a few of those. Reading is a way to learn new skills, (not just in the bedroom for the naughty novels lol) but also anything you want to learn.
Maybe an hour or two a day. It’s my way of winding down. I have a 3 yr old and a 4 yr old (both boys), husband and full time job so my time is limited.
I was lucky in some of my jobs, we were allowed to bring a book, if not I smuggled one in lol
@Rhonda There’s no way I could find time to read in my job ? I almost never get a lunch. ?
I envy those fast readers!
Slow reader here. One book per week ! :p
I’m a slow one to sometimes it one book a month
I am not a “slow” reader. I am a savourer lol
@Linda Tuplin true! The slower you read a line, the longer its flavour lingers in your mind <3
I usually try to read for 3-5 hours a day, but lately I’ve been having headaches that have been preventing me from reading for very long. I can usually average 2-4 books a week but I’ve been stuck on IT for a while
I work full time and have a family. I read about 2 hours a day and about 2 books a week. Wish I had more time to read. ???
I try to finish a book in 4 days. Slow reader. I read in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings if I’m not busy with other stuff. Weekends I’m always reading. My best time
Maybe 2 hours throughout. I read about 3 books at a time, so it takes me longer than 1 week to get through one book, but I tend to finish at least 2 at a time in a 2 week period. (does that make any sense? LOL)
Depends. 2 books a month is what am able to finish
Two hours a day
Hour and half a day…maybe 1 to 2 books a week it depends
Two to three hours night , unless I can’t wait to finish then it could be all night .
I’m a slow reader also. I usually read a couple hours a day. It really depends on the books how many I read in a week, some read quicker than others and sometimes I get through several books in a week and sometimes I can barely complete one, it just depends on my mood.
2-4 hours. The number of books i read depend on my mood
Not as much as I would like, but 4-6 hours on good days.
Unfortunately, I hardly ever get to read. Mother of 5 and I have all the house duties.
Bout 2-3 Hours on Days off n Weekends!??
Average 3 books a week
Not nearly enough cuz work gets in the way!
One book a week
1. As many as I can!
2. I try to finish a book a week.
Not sure how many hours a day but it averages to about 3 books a month?
It can depend on the books I have available to read. But I usually read about 5 hours a day and finish 4 or more books a week.
Five a week on average.
About 3 books a week. Have too many to get read!
I read a book a day
Impressive!
I’m not alone ?
I am a teacher and have 4 daughters and 2 international students… my reading time is sadly much more limited than I would like.
5-6 a week ?
At least a book a week
Minimum 4 pages before I sleep
That depends very much. But minimum time per day is two hours.
How many books is more difficult to answer. If I like the book in question, I can be fast and finish it in two days. If it bores me or is somehow demanding, it might take me up to one or two weeks to read .
Average : two or three books per week.
Usually 1-2 hours per day. Mostly personal development and non-fiction
Depends how low long the books are and what type of content. Just finished a medical/science type book on nutrition. Took about 2 weeks
Usually two per week – sometimes three if I get in an audio book too ❤️?
At least 5 hours per day . Two books a week .
I try to read at least an hour a day. I tending to get in one book a week (not including audiobooks)
I read 4-5 hours a day. About 1-2 books a week. But most of them are large books. The one I just finished was almost 700 pages.
I love love really long books!
I try and always read like at least two pgs a day. Sometimes it turns into a lot more lol
I dumped my cable and Internet a year and a half ago so I read so much more now! Average hours a day: 2-4. Usually 2-3 books a week. ??☕️
